All The Tell-Tales...

Fantasy:
In tribute after his death, a family spokesman said: “He was a lovable rogue with a cheeky smile and a mischievous sense of humour. He would do anything for his wide circle of friends and family, especially his five-year-old son, Logan, to whom he was entirely devoted.
“He was passionate about sports cars and he was a regular visitor to cruise events at Trafford Park and the Drag Strip at Santa Pod.”
Reality:
Coroner Richard Taylor said: “It is clear that he should not have been behind the wheel, he was a disqualified driver who had been drinking and taking drugs.”
Also speeding, and using a mobile phone...

'Loveable rogue' seems to be shorthand these days for 'lawbreaking antisocial idiot'. The speeding here wasn't just a few miles per hour over the limit, it was 50 in a 30. I feel sorry for this man's family but at the end of the day the truth is he died because of his own stupidity.

It does seem to be the leading cause of death these days, doesn't it? We seem to be devolving.
